Sky signs a new 7-year deal with the PDC

Auntie Sue would kill for a seven year TV deal. Maybe a three year one at the moment would do

Auntie Sue would kill for a TV deal, period. No matter for how many years, even a deal just for the next tournament would be great news.

You guys should move to the Netherlands, the entire tournament on freeview (although some of it delayed when there are football shows on ).

Excellent.
Handy for me who won't be watching as I don't have sky or wifi.
Lovely.

Thank you to the kind forum member, recognising the effort taken to run the competition, for the PM offering me his Sky Go login details so I can watch the action.
Kudos.

I wouldnt mind that either, I dont have Sports at the moment so can only watch a decent stream when its on Mix

Mobdro it is!!!

In all fairness Ginge. I find the quality of stream on Mobdro is as good as Sky Go if you are watching on a tablet.

And the stream for the matches that are not on RTL& is only 3,99 a month.

Must say I hoist the Jolly Roger whenever I watch a stream online.

Might as well support RTL7 though, they deserve to earn a bit of cash for all the darts they supply us with, and 3,99 a month is hardly noticeable.

Also on Eurosport Player in a load of places that presumably arent covered by the existing TV deals

Surely that ends the chance of Eurosport picking up BDO events now?

Not really, its not for any major territory. Was only UK Eurosport that picked up the Masters anyway, wasnt it?

If you poor people can't afford to pay for sky and the like you should go without not go stealing it.

Bad news all round.....should be on a terrestrial channel....money has ruined darts and our opertunities to watch it.

Inconsistent trolling klaxon!!!!!

Yeah Disney are a set of gimboids, the PDC will be known for proper "Pantomime" darts now

Ah yes, Sky is now 39% owned by Disney, so they will now be blowing the PDC out of the water....oh.....

I think a lot of people are just missing how good this MIGHT be for the BDO and darts, ESPN as has been said before are owned by Disney and are, I believe the largest sports netowrk in the USA, if this masters goes well there is potentially a vast market and plethera of sponsors across the pond who will be seeing darts on their screens via ESPN USA, now imagine if the masters or a new event caught their imagination? Yes it might have to be played in the US but what the hell. Potentially if they can get the production right and the players perform for the cameras this could be the best step forward for non PDC darts in years.

[Ginge]

Thank you for pointing out the small typo.

Im sure he used the term "blow the PDC out of the water" somewhere
